That was a really great article. Nailed it, IMO. The key point is how the libs have “Alinsky’ed” us by claiming that WE are the radical wingnuts trying to impose our views on everyone us while it has been THEM all along that are doing exactly that. This is the argument that needs to be brought to the American public. Enough of the public does not get how the Democrat party is trying to radically change America. Too much of the public thinks they’re offering “solutions” while we are the nuts trying to wreck the country.

At any rate, we can win this election, whether or not we are able to make the case on that kind of an intellectual level. Don’t tell me Newt can’t win after what he did in 1994 and don’t tell me Santorum can’t win after G.W. Bush won twice. Obama has given us an enormous amount of material to work with. Romney could win solely on people hating Obama, which is the weakest case to make, but either Newt or Rick offer a different enough approach that people could think they would improve the country EVEN IF they approve of Obama at the time.

The idea that running on CHRISTIANITY is a losing issue is just absurd. That’s what this country is other than the elite enclaves of a few states that are going to vote blue no matter what.

Not to mention the debt. We could win on that alone. Just mention over and over again how much money each individual person owes on the debt when it’s divided up and how much they’re paying in interest every single year. This is a country where people are increasingly trying to stay out of debt in their personal finances. The national debt issue needs to be PERSONALIZED that way.

The campaign against Obama hasn’t even begun. The polls mean absolutely nothing this far out. We’re looking at polls in the primary for one state and saying they could change radically 2 weeks out. So why in the world would anyone think the polls nationally can’t change in 9 months? Favorable/unfavorable ratings are also a very weak statistic to look at. People are favorable of the Pope, but wouldn’t want him to be president. And they weren’t too favorable of Dick Cheney, but had no doubts he was competent enough to be president in a time of crisis.

Oh, yeah, GW and the spending over the cliff which Rick was apart of. Not a good plan. Bush recycle is bad news for a win. Boy, we are in trouble. Goodnight all.
